What can I do to configure the correct code page without loosing the visiblity of filenames with german umlauts?
shutdown samba convert them start samba with fixed configuration.
There is a neat little perl script mentioned in the Samba3 HowTo Collection named "convmv". It can rename all files in your tree to correct names under unix.
Thanks Gunther,
this would be the hard way I think ... I am afraid of this, because I don't know where our users got the old "corrupted" file names stored in. Maybe in CVS-Repositories, network drives with synchronisation, etc. So renaming the files without interaction of the files owner is not an option for us.
I read the manual page of convmv and discovered: "As a result of that the files which contain non-ASCII characters are screwed up if you ``ls'' them on the Unix server. If you change the ``character set'' variable afterwards to iso8859-1, newly created files are okay, but the old files are still screwed up in the Windows encoding."
It would help me very much if I could see the old file names as "screwed up". But I cannot see the at all if I change the charset configuration.
